Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Maybe focus on the subject of the reporting instead of the reporting itself.  Let's talk about Trump's propaganda video and how the president's authority is "total", shall we? 
Dwelling on the coverage takes away from the content of the reality.  Hmm, seems like a great tactic to me....

Not sure the video was really propaganda- but whatever. I'd call the NY Times sitting on a sexual assault story on Joe Biden for nearly 3 weeks- burying it on page 20 on EASTER SUNDAY- and then editing said story after it was first published online- and then deleting their tweet about said story with an excerpt and hyperlink to the story at the behest of Joe Biden's campaign far more egregious and far closer to propaganda than that silly promo video Trump did. Compare the NYT coverage to that allegation say to the one vs Brett Kavanaguh. LOL.

That Trump video by the way CORRECTLY pointed out the media and Democrats like Biden and Pelosi's hypocrisy and downplaying of the coronavirus. Pelosi was out and about on Feb. 24th in Chinatown saying come to Chinatown! Spend your cash! Don't stay inside! Biden's senile old ass was calling Trump a xenophobe and a racist for instituting a travel ban with China. Hmmm wonder why. Could it have anything at all to do with his son getting a $1.5 billion loan from the CCP?

He's wrong- but so are the people saying he's wrong. This isn't a black and white thing. We are talking about an unprecedented situation in the history of this freaking country. Who decides when the states/economy will re-open- wouldn't be surprised if that is litigated in the courts. This is uncharted waters. Our economy/society isn't set-up to completely shutdown. If this economy doesn't re-open and re-open sooner than later- we could be living through another great depression. And me personally- I am NOT ok with that to save thousands of lives. Not even my own. Sorry. F that. I'm not living like a hermit in my house in fear for 6 months while the world around me crashes and burns into the ground.

You mean like supreme court nominees?  
Personally, on this thread, mdot21 is being an unbearable radical conservative and it stinks.
But I'm no one of any consequence.

No politics please.

The three Pacific states announced their framework to reopen about an hour ago, but did not offer a date.

I'd provide a link to a news story, but can't find any that have given a solid summation yet. 

I think the President should use passive approval with the states

Let them do their thing and only get involved if for any state that waits way beyond reason

Once the first one or two states open up the others will follow in short order

Travel isn't banned today. If I wanted to hop on an airplane and fly to Denver tomorrow (I just looked that up as an example since I fly SNA->DEN often for work) there are three nonstop flights on Southwest and a bunch of alternate routings with stops.

There are only two flights out of LaGuardia headed to LAX, one through Houston and one through Denver. But they're there and for sale.

So that would be even more restrictive than we have right now.

I'm aware of that. It probably should be more restrictive if "we" are going to "open things up", no? In other words, people in CA need to stay in CA, but start to resume a "normal" life again, with precautions in place, of course. Illinois is not ready for that yet, in my opinion. Florida neither.

Retail stores, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, event venues-- all are shut down in most communities and they are a huge portion of the cratering economy.

And I think younger people-- college age kids and young professionals-- would immediately flock back to them.  In a lot of cases they're still meeting in relatively large groups anyway, and never stopped.

My neighbors' kids are in college at Texas Tech, and Arkansas.  When their colleges shut-down and went virtual, they returned home and schooled-from-home for maybe two weeks.  Even then they were constantly leaving to go meet friends and, after those couple weeks, they took off, went back to their apartments on campuses, and are continuing on as before.  No doubt in my mind that as soon as the bars and restaurants and movie theaters and shopping malls reopen, they'll be there.

They're not afraid, on their own behalves, for any number of reasons.
